Well, this puts a damper on the proceedings! Lately I've been having some slight pain in my lower back (not unusual) but yesterday while I was out walking I stepped on some fresh snow with ice underneath.. long story short: I fell on my butt! It wasn't a hard fall, it didn't hurt and I was more worried about my camera which also hit the ground and was focusing quite erratically for a while. Anyway, after a few hours the camera was fine again.... but I wasn't!
It is painful to lie down, it is painful to sit and it is painful to walk and trying to move from one of those states to another is even more painful. I sneezed earlier today and that was very painful :-)
I'm now on a heavy duty mix of regular painkillers and NSAIDs and hopefully I'll be back in business in 2 or 3 days.
So far this year I have averaged a little over 16000 steps pr. day. So far today I have managed 650 (painful) steps, so no going for a walk to take photos. Instead, here is a photo of a bowl of potpourri :-)
A fabulous capture of your beautiful potpourri. So sorry about your fall and back issues, I feel for you!
There was a time in my life when I could only crawl and not get up, hubby had to dress me and put on my socks! So I can imagine what you are going through. Sending positive healing thoughts and hope you find the relief you need soon.
Thank you all so much for your kind comments and well wishes. I am feeling much better today. Still have to be careful but I managed to take a (very slow :-) walk around the lake today with the aid of a pair of trekking poles.
